This Noritake fancyware dish features a city in silhouette -- Venice or an Eastern Port (Alexandria, Cairo, Istanbul?) -- with an oarsman at the helm of a gondola in the foreground. Given its exceptional quality and condition, the handled serving dish would make a great gift for collectors of maritime and nautical items, Noritake and anyone who enjoys vintage collectibles. Display it as a work of decorative art and use it on special occasions.

CONDITION: the dish is in excellent vintage condition (no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs). The colors are vibrant and the gold has very little (if any) fading.
